Why should you consider the 20Twenty Business Growth programme?

Our programme has immediate and real business application. As you develop a unique set of business and people skills, we will challenge you to think about the differences you can make to your organisation or company whilst completing a range of optional accredited qualifications from the Chartered Management Institute (CMI).

Our programme focusses on real issues and the content continues to be reviewed by past delegates through focus groups to ensure it remains relevant and immediately applicable in the workplace to achieve maximum impact. This is one of the reasons why our programme is such a success and as a result it continues to be a flagship product offered by Cardiff Metropolitan University and subsidised by European Funding.

During six two-day workshops over a 10 month period, you’ll not only cover leadership and management styles, but we’ll also provide you with the knowledge to develop high performing teams, identify growth opportunities, improve efficiencies, nurture innovation and develop expansion goals. In addition, the programme will upskill you in key operational areas for leaders including marketing and social media.

Other benefits of the programme include access to executive coaching on a 1-2-1 basis to support you in achieving your professional or personal goals, and training on emotional intelligence and resilience to protect your wellbeing as you take on new leadership or managerial challenges.

What’s more, with our 20Twenty Growth Club, you’ll be able to build and harness a powerful network of peers across sectors which will last beyond your qualification.

We bring in world-class speakers from across the world to deliver our programme, sharing their expertise from a diverse range of backgrounds, including organisational psychology, leadership, innovation, marketing and neuroscience.
